The Second Incarnation of the God of Creation

Alya and Katsumi (3/3)

As the silhouette of the Goddess of water materialize from condensed droplet of water consolidate into a solid form, the pressure boring down on the surroundings only grew stronger.

The trees swayed slightly as the once steady stream of water undulated roughly from the powerful pressure.

The lesser spirits that had yet to gain full self-awareness fluttering around suddenly became energetic, they subconsciously drew closer to the avatar of the Goddess of water.

"Our Goddess..."

The high priestess, Catalina lowered her head in reverence. Stream of tears could be seen trickling down her cheeks, glistening at the corners of her beautiful, gem-like eyes. They weren't from a sense of sorrow, but genuine joy.

Even though the high priestesses of each generation could communicate with the Goddess through telepathy to a certain extent, it was very rare for the Goddesses to respond to them.

In fact, it had been several years since a priestess last had the honour of communicating with the Goddess.

Although she didn't express it outwardly, she had been greatly surprised when she had received the order to bring the hero to this place.

The Goddess of water took on a human form. Her long waist length blue coloured hair falling down to her slim waist, and her gorgeous eyes were enchanting.

A dress woven from blue silk wrapped around her figure. Her beauty was truly remarkable.

"So, this is the Goddess of water, Aqua?"

Katsumi did her best to stay on her feet as she endured the presence of the Goddess of water. Her midnight black eyes studied the woman before her.

Aside from the presence she gave off, she seemed no different from a small young girl in her mid-teens.

However, Katsumi felt her breath taken away from how beautiful the Goddess was, she felt as though she could be the most perfect being in terms of physical appearance.

"... Hero who have travelled across worlds, your presence honours me. I am grateful you answered my summoning. And you, Priestess of the Sacred Church, bearer of our voice and guide of the faithful—know that you have my deepest gratitude."

The Goddess of water, Aqua said, her beautiful melodious voice could soothe the soul.

"So, you were the one who brought me to this world, I don't remember ever answering any summoning of yours."

Katsumi said bluntly. It was quite a rude way of speaking towards a sacred Goddess who was worshipped by the humans of the world, but Katsumi's status as the summoned hero was enough to warrant that.

Although she hadn't expressed her true feelings openly, she still felt some annoyance about her situation.

Since neither the king nor the princess were the ones who had summoned her here, she couldn't bring herself to criticize them.

But now that she was before the one responsible, she could express her dissatisfaction.

"H-Hero?"

The high priestess, Catalina reacted to Katsumi's harsh words with a flinch. The Goddess of water, however, merely showed a somewhat troubled smile in response to Katsumi's glare.

The summoning magic randomly chose the one fated to become the chosen hero by reacting to those who were the most compatible to the elemental Goddesses and their respective elements.

Either way, it didn't change the fact that they had abducted the children who became the chosen heroes.

She had naturally expected to be criticize to a certain extent when she arrived here. Her glossy lips twisted into a sadden smile.
